Equitable Stroke Control (ESC)
Beginning January 1, 1998 the USGA will implement a new method
of Equitable Stroke Control.
This new ESC combines a par-based system
with a maximum-number system. The single-digit handicap player may now take a
double bogey on any hole. The 10-19 handicap player may take a 7 on any hole,
regardless of par; 20-29 may take an 8; 30-39 may take a 9 and 40 and above
will be allowed a 10 on any hole.
The Chart below outlines the new
allocation of strokes based on the players course handicap.
